The Enlightenment - roll it back or forward?

[Speaker to Animals]

Reject the fundamental assumptions of equality and democracy as some moral good. We are not all equal and democracy is probably the worst form of government short of communism.

Enlightenment, and that really is a dishonest name for it, is just degeneracy, slavery, and murder really. It's not worth saving. It should be dismantled before it destroys our civilization.

The funniest shit is when they try to claim science as their invention and gift to humanity. Dude, science endured despite neo-liberalism. Most of the shit everybody thinks they know about the history of science is Enlightenment mythology as it is.

The reality is that science has always been an inherently aristocratic endeavor in the sense that it is exceedingly elitist. Every field in the physical sciences is dominated by about fifty minds. They so outperform everybody else, they are like giants. Their very existence is a repudiation of Enlightenment ideology, since we can't possibly all be equal. The truth of that is manifest quite clearly in the sciences. Most scientists until the post-war period came from wealthy families or an aristocracy as well.

You see it in industry as well. The average IQ of a CEO of large cap corporations is something like 130 last I checked. The most successful CEOs tend to have mliitary backgrounds.

The groundwork for an new aristocracy based on merit is already in place. This is the shit the left is at war with. They don't like the fact that the brightest and most gifted people can succeed to become very wealthy. It's not just the inherent greediness of the left that they want to steal what the brightest minds were able to build for themselves, but that they operate out of a belief that we are all equal. Thus, if we are all equal, those high-IQ and highly-motivated CEOs must have stolen that wealth somehow. It's the only explanation if you refuse to question one of the principle axioms of the so-called Enlightenment.

At some point, when we all have to face this reality, we tend to break up into two camps. Some of us are happy that the most gifted can ascend to leadership positions and make fortunes, because we know it also elevates all of society and us with it. We prefer to be led by the most able and intelligent leaders possible. But others of us just feel immense jealousy and animosity for people who are smarter than us, better than us at something, etc. The Enlightenment ideology reinforces their dysfunction by telling them we really are all equal, and some social or institutional injustice made those peoples' rise possible. Conversely, when one of them actually has a gift at something and succeeds, they are compelled to attribute their success to the collective. This is why pozzed journalists ask successful women what those women owe feminism for their success.

Which one are you?

"La République n'a pas besoin de savants ni de chimistes; le cours de la justice ne peut être suspendu." ("The Republic has no need of scientists or chemists; the course of justice cannot be delayed.")


And.. then they executed the greatest chemist of their era.

Enlightenment, everybody.

Rename this thread,

The Enlightenment- The original SJWs?

It's really great in the second half when he rips into this globalist bullshit.



It's almost as if these neo-liberals have no idea what they have awakened. They still don't get it. After Brexit, Trump, Eastern Europe telling them to fuck themselves with a fork, and now Italy telling them Li mortacci tua! How do they not see that at least half of us would rather bury them in mass graves than see our cultures and nations die? Now they want to save their genocidal project with some re-branding. LMFAO.

Murder? less people end up dead prematurely than ever in history.

Any before the enlightenment civilization would look barbaric and cruel.
